|n/a = Not available Notes: 1. The full-time trained strength and requirement includes Full Time Reserve Service (FTRS) personnel, but excludes mobilised reservists. FTRS personnel were created under the Reserve Forces Act 1998 and hence there are no FTRS figures included within the 1 April 1997 and 1 April 1998 strengths. 2. All figures are rounded to the nearest 10. Numbers ending in five have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.| | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
